Computers are also a topic that could easily shift over time. The '80s version could get into the initial wonders of computerized automation and information sharing, the "hip" era could shift more towards video games and the first major outbreak of the internet, and the modern era could focus more on how computers help to better connect the world.

A larger focus on health for Wonders of Life - originally going to be the Life Health Pavilion, I think could be a spin that would fit for the 80s (dancing playing a big role)
Granted the only thing with that is it'll be more difficult as we go on through the years to not go back to the same beats as Wonders of Life

I feel like we could keep it anchored with a factor in the changing nature of health information. Perhaps a Health pavilion could start with that general focus on health and fitness, but maybe shift over the years to having a focus on mental health given the greater concern on that topic these days.

Computers seems like a great way to show progression - an Apple Pavilion as corny as that may seem, could be a 2020 version of what we start in the 80s

They really would. Starting off with what computers can do, as it gradually changes over the years to how we use computers.

Honestly, even without getting into what theme we work on, this will be quite the challenge. In a way, we're basically designing three pavilions. Sure, it's still the one core pavilion, but we're going to be reflecting how it updates and changes over time. This could even mean a change in the attractions, depending on what we do with our pavilion over the years.
It may seem daunting, but it's still quite exciting!

In a way - I say we make one full pavilion in the 80s, and then merely describe changes for the other 2 eras. It'd be a large task to essentially make 3 pavilions, so let's make one great one that doesn't require too much changes over the years (or changes that would lead to the need for new attraction writeups)

At the very least, we should definitely start on the '80s iteration of the pavilion first. Lay down our foundation first, so that we can see how it can be changed and updated over the years.

Exactly - because if we make one that's solid first, the enhancements over the years could be more aesthetic than foundation altering. I look to something like the Land Pavilion - which is pretty much the same pavilion + Soarin' and a few show/restaurant renames/overlays

True. A good core foundation, with maybe some thematic or aesthetic changes over the years to go with the changing times. Maybe a slight change on the attractions or the addition of IPs in later eras, but that all depends on the theme we pick and what we do with it.

Speaking of, on the topic of Space, one thought that I had was something that's a mix of simulator/planetarium. Still shifting and tilting like a simulator, but more gentle and about the feeling of taking in the sights and wonders of the cosmos.
As for Computers, perhaps we could have a dark ride where guests are "digitized" into a computer, giving them an up-close look at this cybernetic world.

Another thought I've had (for a Health or Mind pavilion) is perhaps an omnimover dark ride, taking us through a human brain. Perhaps we are there as new trainees of the mind pilots, only for the brain to be experiencing stress as we go through. It'd be a way to showcase the effect that stress has on the mind, along with showing how people can better manage stress.

I'm fine with whatever we do, I just think we need to remember for any of our potential themes that we need a realistic sponsor for the 80's version of the pavilion.

It's settled we're doing the calculator pavilion!

I raise you this: the Mathematics Pavilion, Presented by Texas Instruments.
I’m not for this by the way. Math is my weakest subject in school, despite having a mathematician for a father!

Actually, I kinda like this... although what about instead of the Math Pavilion, it's the Computer Pavilion @DashHaber suggested? Texas Instruments could sponsor it initially before it shifts focus in the 90s from Computational Computers to Video Games and Digital Entertainment.I raise you this: the Mathematics Pavilion, Presented by Texas Instruments.
Also, we could use Tron, which came out the same year as EPCOT!

That is actually a really good point. Texas Instruments would be a fitting sponsor for a Computers pavilion!

Hello there, Team Time! "Time" for us to take on a fresh challenge, this time designing an Epcot Future World pavilion! Not just any old pavilion, either. We're taking it through three phases: the opening Epcot Center era, the "hip" ('90s-2000s) Epcot era, and the modern Disney Epcot era. We've started off with some good brainstorming, which has included the following:
- Air/Weather
- Performing Arts
- Space
- Water
- Mind
- Health
- Computers
We are starting off strong, and I like what we're thinking! By the end of tomorrow, I'd like for us to decide on what the theme for our pavilion will be, so that we can start brainstorming and designing it. We've got a big project ahead, and we definitely want to make good use of our time.
Keep calm, and keep imagining!
